A Desperate Call
The phone call was unexpected. “Is this Becky?” A voice across the line cracked. You must arrive immediately. It’s urgent. This puppy of ours is about to pop! Every syllable in the clerk’s hurried voice appeared to shake with anxiety. Becky was aware that she had no time to spend. She quickly grabbed her keys and coat and ran out the door, wondering what type of situation she could face.

Arriving at Chaos
As Becky sprinted along the dark hallway of the shelter, her boots slammed against the damp concrete. Dogs were barking and whining, and the room was alive with tight tension. As if begging for assistance, she noticed the terrier laying there with its brown eyes wide and shaking. A young shelter worker walked uneasily next to her. The sight of the puppy made Becky’s heart hurt, and she crouched next to it. She said, “I’m here now, sweetie. We’re going to help you.”
